this evening was the cub scout pack camp out. it starts with dinner and fun and then some families stay over camping in the park. Bug and I are not camping this year, but we will be camping next year for sure.
These are 2 of the volunteers- Bug's Den leader Mrs. D and the achievement volunteer, Mrs. J. Between the two of them, they keep the pack running smoothly.
It was raining when the evening started, so the kids were in the shelter with the naturalist learning about trees. here they are being a tree. Bug is in the outer bark. I think they enjoyed this learning.
They learned to identify trees by looking at the leaves.
Just hanging out
The guys cooking the food.
Mr. J rounding up the kids from the open area. See all those tents. Next year, we will be in one
Father Tom came to say mass for the families
Father Tom thanking the boys for their card for him. He is leaving the school and going away to study. He loves the scouts and has been a true example to the kids at Bug's school.
Bug being awarded his rank badge and arrow points for all his work this year.
After the awards, the kids had time to play and then we headed to the camp fire for the year end reports and a flag retirement ceremony. Bug decided this part needed a baseball glove to be complete.
throwing the stripes into the fire- first the red stripes, then the white stripes and finally the field of blue and stars.
Love and hugs,
Deb
